| Ronald Reagan was a truly mythical figure |
|
Everything about him celebrated today are myths. A sampler:
His patriotism was a myth (Arguably, he committed treason).
His fiscal conservatism was a myth. (We're still paying for it)
His "sunny optimism" was a myth. (Ask any of the grape pickers who were on strike while his was governor)
His leadership qualities were a myth (Beruit->Marine Barracks->Retreat->Grenada)(Dementia)
His concern for "all Americans" (Ketchup? Really?)
Name some other myths the right wingers love to cite about their sainted Ronnie.
